Hi Nigel Try the following :
Connect your computer to the N600 with an ethernet cable, turn off wifi Connect the N600 to the phone line with the supplied cable & ADSL microfilter Browse to http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 whichever asks for a username & password Log in with "admin" as the username and "password" as the password Go to ADSL Settings in the top left menu : VPI : 0 VCI : 38 Multiplexing : VC based DSL Mode : multimode Click Apply Go to Basic Settings : Do your internet connection require a login : Yes Encapsulation : PPPoA Login : usually [email protected] (technically it doesn't matter with BT Broadband but you need to put something in, if there's a specific value it needs to be, call BT and ask for your ADSL connection username & password) Password : BT (same as above) Click Apply Go to Router Status, if all's well you should see : Modem > Modem Status > Connected (if it says connecting then either you got the settings in ADSL settings wrong or there's a problem with your phone line) ADSL Port > IP Address > should be something other than just a dash (if there's nothing there, you may have to call BT for the username & password to use in the Basic Settings section) You can also click on 'Connection Status' at the bottom of the page and it'll tell you a reason : "LCP is allowed to come up" means there's been no response from BT's servers "CHAP Authentication failed" means you've got the password wrong (call BT for it) Go to Wireless settings and give your network a name & password, don't leave it on the default settings. Turn wifi back on and join your new network Hope that helps, in fact it's a fairly appropriate guide for anyone setting up a NetGear router. Most ISPs will give you an ADSL username & password, it's just BT that usually authenticate by the phone number instead. O2 broadband uses quite different settings but still compatible with a NetGear router in most cases. It's just Sky Broadband that restrict you to their routers.
